Below are articles from the following dictionary:
Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
A-1 Noun Strong's Number: g165 Greek: aion

Course:

"an age" (see AGE), is sometimes wrongly spoken of as a "dispensation," which does not mean a period of time, but a mode of dealing. It is translated "course" in Eph 2:2, "the course of this world," i.e., the cycle or present round of things.
See AGE, ETERNAL, EVER, WORLD.

A-2 Noun Strong's Number: g1408 Greek: dromos

Course:

properly, "a running, a race" (from edramon, "to run"), hence, metaphorically, denotes "a career, course of occupation, or of life," viewed in a special aspect, Act 13:25; 20:24; 2Ti 4:7.

A-3 Noun Strong's Number: g2183 Greek: ephemeria

Course:

primarily, "daily service," as, e.g., in the Sept. of 2Ch 13:11 (from epi, "upon, or by," hemera, "a day," Eng., "ephemeral"), hence denoted a "class," or "course," into which the priests were divided for the daily service in the Temple, each "class" serving for seven days (see 1Ch 9:25). In the NT it is used in Luk 1:5, 8.

Note: Cp. ephemeros, "daily (food)," Jam 2:15.

A-4 Noun Strong's Number: g5164 Greek: trochos

Course:

"a wheel," is translated "wheel" in Jam 3:6, RV, with metaphorical reference to the round of human activity (AV, "course"), as a glowing axle would set on fire the whole wooden wheel.

B-1 Verb Strong's Number: g5562 Greek: choreo

Course:

"to make room for, to go forward," is rendered "hath not free course," in Jhn 8:37, RV (AV, "hath no place").
See COME, No. 24.

Notes:

(1) Connected with dromos, A, No. 2, is euthudromeo, "to make (or run) a straight course" (euthus, "straight"), Act 16:11; 21:1.

(2) In 2Th 3:1, trecho, "to run" (RV), is translated "have free course" (AV).

(3) In 1Cr 14:27, ana meros, "by turn," "in turn" (RV), is rendered "by course" (AV).

(4) For ploos, "a sailing or voyage, course," Act 21:7, AV (RV, "voyage"), see VOYAGE.
